The correct answer is: $\frac{2^{n+1}}{n+2}-1$
Given series is $\frac{1}{2 \cdot 3} \cdot 2^{1}+\frac{2}{3.4} \cdot 2^{2}+\frac{3}{4.5} \cdot 2^{3}+\ldots$ upto $n$ terms The $n$th term of the series is
$T_{n}=\frac{n}{(n+1)(n+2)} \cdot 2^{n}=\left\{\frac{2 \cdot 2^{n}}{(n+2)}-\frac{2^{n}}{(n+1)}\right\}$
On putting $n=1,2,3 \ldots$, we get
$T_{1}=2 \cdot \frac{2^{1}}{3}-\frac{2^{1}}{2}, T_{2}=\frac{2 \cdot 2^{2}}{4}-\frac{2^{2}}{3}, T_{3}=\frac{2 \cdot 2^{3}}{5}-\frac{2^{3}}{4}$
On adding, we get
$\begin{aligned}
&\quad S_{n}=T_{1}+T_{2}+T_{3}+\ldots+T_{n} \\
&\Rightarrow \quad S_{n}=\frac{2 \cdot 2^{n}}{(n+2)}-\frac{2}{2}=\frac{2^{n+1}}{(n+2)}-1
\end{aligned}$
